Last week's unexpected coup d'etat in Mali
somewhat overshadowed, in the international news cycle, a relatively peaceful
transition of power in the neighboring democracy of Senegal. In a second-round
vote, opposition leader Macky Sall on Sunday defeated his former mentor,
85-year-old incumbent President Abdoulaye Wade; and while European Union
observers deplored some irregularities, they largely praised the election
and the Senegalese news media for a "positive role" in informing voters.
